In addition to details given by Aidan, we have two sub-options :
* Standard Forwarding [Website is redirected, visitor is aware of the redirection as the URL changes in the address bar]
* Frame forwarding [website is redirected but visitor is not aware of the re-direction as the URL doesnt changes in the address bar]

Taking over the rest..!

Well it totally depends on ones choice, if you want to let visitor know about the redirection then go for standard redirection. If you want it to keep it hidden from the user then go for frame forwarding.

Yes, we can set the forwarding for the sub-domains as well on Plesk 11.5 below given are the steps to set the redirection:

First login to your Plesk 11.5 Panel-
Click on the domain from the side panel-
Search for the sub-domain on which redirection neesds to be set-
click on it and then on the next page you will need to click hosting settings (Which is next to your sub-domain)-
Look out for ::Hosting type and click "Change"-
You will be prompted with 3 options ::
1) Website Hosting 2) Forwarding 3) No web hosting.
Now as we need to redirect the sub-domain you will need to click and select the 2nd option "Forwarding"-
Under the Forwarding settings :: Type in the destination address (Url of the target website)-
Then click "Okay"-
This is how we can set the forwarding and re-direct the sub-domains as well.
